MO415DOES LOW CONTRAST VOLUMES REDUCE RATES OF CONTRAST-INDUCED NEPHROPATHY IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING CORONARY ANGIOGRAPHY?

Abstract

Abstract Background and Aims Coronary angiography (CAG) necessitates administration of iodinated contrast, which may precipitate an acute deterioration in renal function (contrast-induced nephropathy). Previous work on contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) has identified contrast volume as a risk factor and suggested that there is a toxic contrast dose above which the risk of CIN is markedly increased. The focus of this study is to provide a critical appraisal of this modifiable risk factor. Method We prospectively enrolled 158 patients who CAG with or without percutaneous coronary intervention from December 2017 to February 2018 at a cardiology department . CIN was defined as an increase in serum creatinine level >25% or 0.5 mg/dL after 48 hours postcardiac catheterization. Toxic contrast dose was defined as a ratio volume of contrast media to estimated glomerular filtration rate (V/eGFR) > 2 . Multivariable regression was conducted to evaluate the effect of exceeding the toxic contrast dose on CIN. Results Of 158 patients (females = 36.1%, mean age 60.0 ± 11 years) who underwent CAG , 15 (9,5%) developed CIN . The volume administered of contrast was not related to the existence of postprocedure CIN (96,6±35,9 ml vs 102,5±33,7ml , p=0,16). However , it was associated with a higher incidence of CIN in patients with chronic renal failure (90±19,1 ml vs 116,6±73,7ml , p=0,008) . The mean V/eGFR value was 1,2±0,7.Nine percent of patients exceeded the toxic contrast dose. After adjusting for other known predictors of CIN, a V/eGFR ratio > 2 remained significantly associated with CIN (odds ratio 4.7, 95% confidence interval 1.28-17.7, P=0,02). Conclusion Low incidences of CIN suggest that a reduced dose of contrast agent is safe in high-risk patients with impaired renal function. A ratio volume of contrast media to estimated glomerular filtration rate > 2 is a significant and independent predictor of CIN after CAG.
